As we move through the position-by-position previews for the New York Giants before the 2018 NFL Draft, we focus on a position the Giants haven’t over the past few seasons — linebacker. This preview will take a look at off-ball linebackers only. Outside linebackers/edge rushers will be covered with the defensive line.
The roster
Current roster: Thurston Armbrister, Ray Ray Armstrong, B.J. Goodson, Curtis Grant, Mark Herzlich, Alec Ogletree, Derrick Matthews, Calvin Munson
It gives a sense of how poor the Giants’ linebacking corps has been when seven linebackers who were on the 2017 roster became free agents and as of this signing only one has signed with a different team.
